Daily Painting - Postcard from Holland

A Painting A Day
Postcard from Holland is a project, in which I intend to paint a small ('postcard-size') oil painting each day, and post it to this blog. I will depict everyday objects, local fruits and dutch landscapes. In this way I hope to give visitors a day-to-day impression of my life as an artist in Holland.

Two quinces on a box

Suffering from a mild case of chocolate milk deprivation induced gloominess today, I wanted to do something fun.

Bowl with eggs

Today not a 'daily painting', but a still life painting painted with a classical layered technique. This one will be presented at the 'Affordable Art Fair' in Amsterdam, in november. The painting will be available from art dealer Warnars & Warnars in Naarden (Holland)...

Peach

Quince study

Last friday, fellow artist Michel Alders visited my studio and asked me to demonstrate my techique. Got a few quinces last week from fiend Rsln, so I decided to make a study of one. Maybe she will bring me some more..?

Still life with plum

Slowly recovering from a bad cold, still feeling a bit tired. But I wanted to do something today, so I decided to do a daily painting. I bought some reine claudes, painted one and ate the rest, for vitamins. In this painting the viewer's eye is only a few millimeters above the table surface. Want to experiment some more with this traditional ant's perspective.

Sun setting behind trees

Have been ill last week, so no paintings. Today however, I went outside again with fellow artist Roderick Brenninkmeijer. Made 3 small paintings. This one, with the sun setting behind a wall of trees, I liked best. I especially liked the way the sun just shines over the tops, making a small glare at the intersection of the two rows of trees...
